Multi-game sessions and the games board
Run several games in one Xsporty event, with rotations, per-game scores and records, and a live board of who's playing and who's next.

An open-play pickleball night or a back-to-back scrimmage session isn't one game — it's ten. Xsporty can track each one.
Set the format
In More options → Repeat and format, set Format to Several games. Racquet sports default to it. Then choose the rotation settings:
- Games at the same time — how many courts are in play.
- Players per side — singles, doubles or teams.
- Rotation — Open line (next in line plays, partners get mixed), Winner stays (losers go to the back of the line, with an optional max wins in a row), Round robin (whoever has played least goes next) or Manual.
- Game to — a points target and win-by margin, or no target.
- Players can start games — let anyone playing start games and change players, or keep it to admins. Everyone can always score their own game.
A single-game event can be converted later from the Games tab with Include more games, as long as no result is in yet.
Run the session
On Manage game → Games, tap + Add game, pick the two sides and Start game. When it's over, End game with the score — or Cancel game if it shouldn't count. Or open the games board: one card per court shows who's Playing and who's Next, with buttons to Start game, Enter score, Change players or End without a score. A Sitting out list and tonight's standings sit below. With "Players can start games" on, the players run the board themselves.
Scores and records
Each game has its own score, and every player gets a win, a draw or a loss per game once the session is completed — a voided game counts for nobody. After the session, the post-game screen shows Your games so players can confirm each score or add one nobody logged. Partners and rivals from sessions feed the Athlete stat dashboard. Racquet-sport sessions skip the MVP vote. See Scores, MVP and awards.
Frequently asked questions
Do players need to check in?
No. Everyone on the roster is assumed present. Use the Sitting out list to see who's waiting.
Can players start games themselves?
Yes, if you turn on Players can start games in the session settings. Anyone in a game can always enter its score.
Does a session count as one game or many?
The event counts as one game played. Each game inside it adds its own win, draw or loss to the players' records.
